2009 Sea Slopes Pinot Noir Accolades

Alluring aromas of boysenberry, raspberry, and rose petal are an elegant prelude to the luscious flavors that follow. Rich, plush tiers of ripe plum and wild blackberries seamlessly intertwine with hints of cassis and vanilla bean which is balanced by the minerality that lingers through the lengthy finish.

90 Points - WINE ENTHUSIAST - October 2011 Issue
Fruit is the star of this wine. It’s gigantic and forward in sweet raspberry and cherry flavors that taste wild, picked under a hot summer sun. Fortunately, there’s a lot of acidity, and firm tannins provide additional structure. The finish is thoroughly dry. A bit in your face now, but could do interesting things over the years. —S.H.
